About our non-slip bath coating in Horsley Cross
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Horsley Cross
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Horsley Cross?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Horsley Cross. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
